  If the wealth generated by artificial intelligence will accrue only to the owners of AI companies, then the way to avoid catastrophic levels of inequality is to give everyone an ownership stake in those companies.

  Since AI is built on the collective knowledge of humanity, the wealth it generated must benefit humanity. Not just Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos, Mark Zuckerberg, Larry Ellison, and other billionaires.

  While the proposals for AI profit sharing vary in their precise details, a quick review of their likely outcomes should quickly deflate the popular excitement that has formed in response to calls for new taxes, public wealth funds, and the like.

  Artificial intelligence has become the latest excuse for reviving one of the oldest bad ideas in economic policy: a universal basic income. [...] AI will change work. It will not repeal economics. The best response is not fear-driven universal depend...

  Stock is private property, and seizing 50% of the stock value of major firms is a pretty obvious case of confiscation. [...] It does not matter that Sanders proposes to take "only" 50% of the stock, rather than 100%. If the government seizes half you...

  It took a lot of effort to achieve some basic rights, and now neoliberalism is destroying everything: the education system, health care... By giving money to each citizen you are transferring responsibility from the State to the people, so that they ...

  UBI does not alleviate poverty and turns social necessities into products for profit. To truly address inequality we need adequate social provisioning. If we want to reduce means testing and dependency on capitalist employment, we can do so with capa...

  Basic Income attempts to pay people under what should probably be called the l’Oréal Principle (“because you’re worth it”). They want to be paid first and then perhaps do something later if they feel like it. That is a complete reversal of the princi...
